On Tuesday, February 17, 2026, Stuttgart will once again become the stronghold of the fifth season. The city will showcase the full diversity of Swabian carnival life at the big carnival parade: colorful masked groups, dancing guard girls, loud Guggenmusik and impressive floats will parade through the city center from Tübinger Straße to Karlsplatz.
The parade starts at 14:00 and, as always, participation is free for all spectators. Perfect for families, carnival enthusiasts and anyone who simply wants to enjoy the exuberant atmosphere and traditional carnival.
